At the recent Dalhousie Student Impact Awards, Pharmacy student Megan Riordon was honoured with the Faculty Leadership Award for Health Professions. The award is presented to a student in good academic standing in each Dalhousie Faculty who exemplifies the highest level of passion for their discipline, takes initative in creating new opportunities and encourages their peers to engage in Faculty events. Winners positively impact other students and the reputation of their Faculty at Dalhousie and outside of the classroom.

Megan was recognized for her contributions to the Pharmacy Grad Class 2012 committee as fourth year class representative, her participation in organizing charitable events as a member of the Dalhousie Student Pharmacy Society, her participation in Dalhousie intramurals, being a member of the Canadian Society of Hospital Pharmacists and a delegate on their national council and assisting with a national student conference to be held in Halifax for Pharmacy Development Week 2012.

Congratulations to Megan on all her achievements!

The Association of Health Administration Students (AHAS) was honoured to be nominated as one of three best department societies at the first annual Dalhousie Student Impact Awards. The award is presented to the departmental society ratified with the DSU that has demonstrated the highest level of consistency in event planning and delivery, high participation and attendance of their membership, and sets an example for other student societies. AHAS is a relatively small society, and was thrilled to be nominated in recognition of:
  • A visioning exercise that guided activities throughout the year, the introduction of a committee structure which enabled a great amount of accountability and activity, and advocacy for new initatives.
  • Activities such as hosting a successful bake sale to raise money for charity, facilitating informative lunch-and-learn sessions, coordinating events with the Alumni Association and the Canadian College of Health Leaders, participating in Trick-or-Eat and developing community partnerships.

AHAS has evolved from a small association to a power house group, setting the bar high for future years and developing a solid example.  Congratulations AHAS!
